One hundred percent agreed, I watched a documentary on him and his story is fascinating.

He’s too white and straight. In other words uninteresting to the general public.

The Mr. Rogers movie seems to be doing fairly well among the general public.

Yes, it would definitely make for an interesting biopic. In addition to being a larger than life character, it also appears that the colonel didn’t suffer fools lightly :D

"He then found work as a fireman on the Illinois Central Railroad, and he and his family moved to Jackson, Tennessee. Sanders lost his job at Illinois after brawling with a colleague."

"After a while, Sanders began to practice law in Little Rock, which he did for three years, earning enough in fees for his family to move with him.[6] His legal career ended after a courtroom brawl with his own client."

"In 1916, the family moved to Jeffersonville, where Sanders got a job selling life insurance for the Prudential Life Insurance Company.[6] Sanders was eventually fired for insubordination."

"In 1930, the Shell Oil Company offered Sanders a service station in North Corbin, Kentucky, rent free, in return for paying the company a percentage of sales. It was during this period that Sanders was involved in a shootout with Matt Stewart, a local competitor, over the repainting of a sign directing traffic to his station. Stewart killed a Shell employee who was with Sanders and was convicted of murder, eliminating Sanders's competition."
